LVM2 rules, so do 2TB SSDs.
Still got almost 400GB in reserve I may throw in /var if the app I run on this demands space, which it does. I kind of wish /usr was on its own logical volume as well as /tmp but this is fine really.
This is now a triple boot machine. The primary Os are on the NVME while the backup is on the SATAIII /dev/sdb.
Interestingly enough, I could never succeed in making the 4TB SATAIII 2.5" SSD bootable. /dev/sda in my example. The OS seems to install fine on it but it doesn't boot. Not that I am concerned, I use it for data storage, but just wondering what is it about the 2.5" SATAIII disks which stops the boot. The M.2 SATAIII disks (Meaning the 2280 format) boot just fine while the older 2.5" format doesn't.
I have a feeling it's something to do with my machine more than anything. Maybe some BIOS/UEFI setting. I don't think I will investigate but just wondering.
